Tag Archives: 改造 Modification

Ever since my marathon of all 25 episodes of Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans, I have been very excited to get my hands on a HG Gundam Barbatos model kit. When I initially saw the HG model from a friend prior to watching the series, I didn’t think much of the Gundam. After seeing it in action in the anime though, my opinion instantaneously changed. I have not been this excited about purchasing and building a new model in a very long time, and it is a great feeling. //続きを見る Continue Reading//

Although I said that I was going to work on the legs next, it is pretty hard and it is taking me forever to finish. So while I am slowly working on the legs, I decided to revisit the arms again for some adjustments.

First, I wanted to make the shoulders more compact and closer to the body. To do so, I needed to make a new shoulder joint. With just about no other resources to use, I made the new joint out of a spare polycap and toothpicks thickened with glue.

During 1/100 OverFlag’s WIP 2, I briefly worked on OverFlag’s backback unit. But I was not satisfied. Just flipping parts upside down and switching it to the other side doesn’t seem creative, plus I didn’t like how tiny the wings were. So recently I spent a lot of time redesigning the backpack unit.

The Figma of Suzumiya Haruhi [Kouyouengakuin ver.] comes with plenty of accessories: her school bag, exchangeable hair piece, her sleeping bag, & 2 face parts, one of which is for Figma Nagato Yuki in order to recreate her expression from the movie, 涼宮ハルヒの消失 Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu.

Of course, I don’t have a Nagato Yuki Figma, neither do I ever plan to have one. But being such an adorable face part, I’d hate to have it be wasted. So the next logical thing to do is to modify it…

The 1st thing to do was to make the shape of the face part fit. I had to cut a chunk out on the upper right side, sand quite a bit down on the upper left side and to sand down her ears to make them smaller. 続きを読む Continue Reading

It has been a really long time since the previous WIP for OverFlag, about half a year ago in September. For a long time I didn’t work on him at all until recently, when my plamo urges seem to have finally kicked in. ^ ^;

A while ago, I realized that I haven’t worked on OverFlag for a long time. So I sat in front of the table, and got working….then after a couple days, I stopped working on him again. These photos were from a while ago, but no new progress from then to now. ^ ^;

So after some work on the body, I went onto the head. Took off the clear orange visor so that I won’t damage it. I used putty to add to the fins on the head & collar fins, then I sanded and sharpened it. Read more of this post
